Dragan Bakema was born on 12 May 1980 in Appelscha, Friesland, Netherlands. He is an actor and producer, known for Hunting & Sons (2010), De geheimen van Barslet (2011) and De troon (2010).- Born Margaretha Geertruida Zelle on August 7 1876, the only daughter of a Dutch hat-maker, she seemed unlikely to later become the Mata Hari, the most infamous double agent in spy history. She answered an advertisement in the local paper placed by Rudolph MacLeod, a career military man in need of a wife. Enchanted by the tall, dark, and lovely Margaretha, MacLeod married her in 1895, and moved her to Dutch-controlled Java. His wife fell in love with Java, and wore native sarongs, learned the local language, and watched local dancers. MacLeod's philandering and bad temper strained their marriage, and even the birth of their second child could not repair the damage done. After their move to Sumatra, a terrible tragedy occurred that would finally end their marriage. While getting ready for bed on June 27 1899, Margaretha heard her children screaming. Racing to their nursery, she found her son and daughter had been poisoned, probably by an angry servant. While their daughter Jeanne Louise (called "Non", a Malay name) survived, her elder brother Norman was not so fortunate. Margaretha fell into a deep depression that was only worsened by MacLeod's blaming her for Norman's death. Finally, the tension exploded, and MacLeod beat Margaretha brutally before kidnapping their daughter and fleeing to Europe. She obtained a divorce and had her child returned to her, but MacLeod refused to pay any support. Unable to care for Non, Margaretha reluctantly left the girl in her father's care and left for Paris. There she became an exotic dancer, choosing the Malay term "matahari" (Eye of the Sun) as her stage name. Concocting a fanciful tale of being a half-Javanese temple dancer devoted to the god Shiva, Margaretha first appeared on stage as her alter-ego Mata Hari in 1905. Her erotic dancing (that included shedding veils, sarongs, and most everything else in the course of her performance) made her an instant sensation, and traveled all over Europe. She also made several unsuccessful attempts to regain custody of her daughter Non, even plotting with a servant to kidnap the girl from her school in Velp. While trying to visit her lover, a Russian officer named Vadim Maslov, Margaretha was approached by Georges Ladoux, a French army captain, who asked her to spy on the Germans. She agreed and planned to seduce a German General and get him to spill military secrets. However, she was arrested by British intelligence and interrogated by Scotland Yard, who were convinced she was actually a spy for the Germans. Finally she was released, and as 1916 drew to a close Margaretha made her way to Spain where she romanced a German Major called Kalle. He caught onto her and sent false messages claiming that she was in fact a German spy. The French arrested Margaretha on February 13 1917 and imprisoned her. She was convicted that summer of spying for an enemy nation and sentenced to death. On October 15 1917, Margaretha Geertruida Zelle faced the firing squad. She refused a blindfold and blew one last kiss to her killers. Mata Hari was killed by a bullet to the heart, and her body was donated to medical science.

In 1965, Duisenberg was sent to Washington D.C. as an employee of the International Monetary Fund. appointed, where he worked until 1969.
He was then appointed advisor to the board of directors of the Dutch state bank "Nederlandse Bank". From 1970 to 1973, Duisenberg taught as a professor of economics at the University of Amsterdam. He then held the office of Dutch Minister of Finance until 1977. The financial politician had already joined the "Partij van de Arbeid" (PvdA, Socialist Party of the Netherlands) in 1959, for which he also sat as a member of parliament in 1977/78. In 1978, Duisenberg was appointed board member and vice president of Rabobank.
He held this office until 1981, when he was promoted to Executive Director of the Dutch Central Bank. In his role as head of the Dutch central bank, Duisenberg also gained recognition across Europe, which he increased through his participation in the further expansion of the European Economic and Monetary Union. From 1988 to 1990, Duisenberg also headed the Bank for International Settlements. From 1994 to 1997 he was the Dutch representative at the International Monetary Fund. As President of the European Monetary Institute, Duisenberg played a key role in the preparations for the introduction of the euro in 1997/98.
On June 1, 1998, he was elected as the first President of the European Central Bank (ECB) in Frankfurt/Main against his French rival and central bank chief Jean-Claude Trichet, who, however, decided from the outset not to use up his eight-year term in office in the interests of France. In his new role, Duisenberg was under a lot of pressure as the top watchdog over the price stability of the European single currency. Especially after the common currency came into force as a means of payment on January 1, 2002, he had to repeatedly remind the member states to observe the convergence criteria.
The head of the central bank showed himself to be a consistent stability politician and a convinced supporter of the euro. Conversely, Duisenberg repeatedly came under public criticism due to the initial weakness of the euro.

The Dutch bank manager handed over the presidency of the European Central Bank to Jean-Claude Trichet on October 29, 2003. In his private life, Duisenberg was married to Gretta Nieuwenhuizen for the second time and was the father of three children.
